Definitely a great Southern Illinois restaurant and staple in this small town for a long time. We were told the biscuits and gravy was a must. So, for the first time, I gave it a try. I love biscuits but usually plain or with butter and jam. I am hit or miss with gravy and prefer it on potatoes. But this time.....I ordered them as is! Biscuits smothered in gravy and it was delicious! A recommendation I was more than happy with. Other food items were good to. We left happy and satisfied. Solid service as well.

I got the Eggs Plus with bacon. It was cooked perfectly, perfectly portioned, and with quality ingredients. The toast was a healthy and tasty grainy and seedy wheat, and the complimentary fruit was a nice send off. The service was spot on. I appreciated the offer for a coffee to go.

We immediately dropped our forks & stopped eating. A few minutes later as our waiter approached the booth, he also seen the roach then crawling on the floor and smashed it with his shoe, he then asked for my napkin & picked it up & took it to the trash. Our waiter was Mike and he was great throughout our entire time there, go Mike!! However, the roach coming from behind the booth, crawling on the wall, then the floor definitely did us in. Food & service is a definite 10/10. The roach however 0/10. Very disappointed and unfortunate I don't believe we will be back. Hopefully they can get this under control as it's a nice place!

And they then started brining out food. At this point we were really confused. We hadn't ask for anything. Every table was the same. Once we started eating, well let's just say we were glad we stayed. Every thing was amazing. Wasn't sure I was happy with fried fish. But very good. Let's just say everything was good staff was friendly and we left not Hungry. Would stop again and again. Stop you will be glad you did.

When you walk in, there isn't a sign or anyone telling you to seat yourself. The place was busy on…read morea Saturday evening around 5:30pm, and another guest actually told us to grab a seat wherever we would like after we stood there at the door for a bit. There were 3 ladies serving the entire restaurant. From what I could tell, they were responsible for drink orders, bringing out food, bussing tables, and plating desserts and bringing those out too. There are no menus and only 1 option for family style chicken and fish, with a salad, bread, and sides consisting of corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, dumplings, and green beans. They don't tell you this. I had spoken to another guest, so I knew this was the case, but if I hadn't, with this being our first visit, I would have been very confused. We had a very young waitress who was still new. She was doing her best, and I felt bad for her, but we waited for extended periods of time on food, and never had a drink refill. The only thing hot when the food came out was the chicken. All of the sides were barely warm at all. The fish and hush puppies were also not hot. They bring you one piece of chicken each, and then we waited 20+ minutes for additional food once we were able to finally ask the waitress for more. The table next to us ordered desserts when we got our bread and drinks, and they still didn't have them when we had already finished our meal, paid the bill, and were leaving. The waitress explained to them that she had to make the desserts herself and she was slammed with just trying to bring food out and get drink orders and that she was still new. She apologized multiple times, but it's not a good system at all. They need someone bussing tables, so the waitresses can focus on drinks and food. They need a sign that tells you to seat yourself. They need to ask if it's your first visit when they walk up to get your drink order so they can explain how they do things if it's your first visit. The bread and strawberry butter was my favorite part of the meal. The side salad had a good flavorful dressing, but only comes as a bowl of lettuce with a couple grape tomatoes sliced in half. The food had good flavor, even though it was cold and we waited for extended periods of time to receive it. The restaurant was clean. Since you have no menu and no idea what to expect, the prices are $18.95 each, and a 4% up charge for debit or credit cards as of July 2025. Unfortunately, we were not impressed at all and probably would not visit again based on this first experience.

However the food was sub par and the hash browns weren't crispy and soggy while the sausage pattys were cooked on the same grill as the burgers as it drenched deep into the paddy as I went for a bite.

I spent a week tracking my footsteps to find the name. I then got some of my riding buddies to take a 100 mile ride just to try this place out. What a great ride getting there. We arrived about 20 minutes before they opened. The staff said come on it. and were very inventive to serve us. great recommendations for what they serve the most of. food was quick, hot, and delicious. Well worth the trip to get there. Price was very reasonable and seemed like a bargain for the service we got. The inside eating aria was done in a rock and roll thyme which was way cool. I am sure my buddies and I will be talking about Mase's place for a while now. Big thank you for a great dinning experience!

Good Food for a good price!!…read more I rated it a 4 versus a 5 but I cannot think of anything I did not like. My server, Tammy M., met me at the door and had me sit anywhere I liked. I ordered the special of the day which was a BBQ Basket. The food arrived in only a few minutes with the lightly battered french fries screaming hot, a piled high pork sandwich on a toasted bun that was freshly soft on the inside with just the right toasted crunch on the flat surface and cole slaw that was the right sweetness and a nice add on to the sandwich. There was so much pork, it was hard to add additional cole slaw. Two in-house BBQ sauces were available in sweet and slightly spicy varieties. My unsweet ice tea arrived with the perfect sized lemon to be squeezed, a long tea spoon and a great long straw (Good plastic - Not the silly a--ed paper ones that are supposed to be good for the environment but stick to your lips and disintegrate as you use them). Food was great and there were some interesting local fresh fish options I will have to try next time. Tammy's service was great as she took care of the entire restaurant in an extremely fast and efficient matter. The location is a little odd nestled behind the Odum Concrete Plant which looked a little like a dive location but was more like a diner on the inside. With a steady stream of locals coming in for the good food at a good price. I will definitely be back now that I have eaten here.

Great food ! Loved the bbq pork. My aunt and uncle like to go here, got them some gift certificates!read more
